Förlagets beskrivning
About the Anthology Guided by the latest scholarship in American literary studies, and deeply committed to inclusiveness, social responsibility, and rigorous contextualization, The Broadview Anthology of American Literature balances representation of widely agreed-upon major works with a thoroughgoing reassessment of the canon that emphasizes American literature's diversity, variety, breadth, and connections with the rest of the Americas. This concise volume represents American literature from its pre-contact Indigenous beginnings through the Reconstruction period, offering a more streamlined alternative to the full two-volume set covering the same timespan. Highlights of Concise Volume 1: Beginnings to Reconstruction * Complete texts of Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative; Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave; and Benito Cereno * In-depth thematic sections on such topics as "Rebellions and Revolutions, " "Print Culture and Popular Literature, " and "Expansion, Native American Expulsion, and Manifest Destiny" * More extensive coverage of Indigenous oral and visual literature and African American oral literature than in competing anthologies * Full author sections in the anthology are devoted to authors such as Anne Hutchinson, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Briton Hammon, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Jose Maria Heredia, Black Hawk, and many others * Extensive online component offers well over a thousand pages of additional readings and other resources
